Wolverine Origins #33 - Marvel


What a great book. Daniel Way is still right on the mark with this one. Doug Braithwaite steps in on the pencils this issue, and . . they fit the book and the story well. This time Logan learns some more about his past from 'ol Nick Fury. He's looking for Daken and he's willing to trade information for information. As it turns out, the name Hudson that keeps popping up throughout Logan's long history is actually his mother's last name. So he's some kind of distant relative to Mac. You know, from Alpha Flight. Well, he's also related to the Hudson's that ran and owned the Hudson Bay Company. He worked for them once as an enforcer . . sort of. Basically, he did their dirty work. Well the Hudsons and Romulus are intimately intertwined. Romulus seems to have some kind of sway over the family and leads them around by the nose to do his, or her dirty work. We also find out that Weapon X didn't create Wolverine . . Romulus did. Weapon X was just trying to make him better . . . and repeat the process. Logan was already a killer. Weapon X wanted to make him unbreakable so that they could turn him into a super-hero killer. He would be the Governments weapon to take down anyone, or anything that went rogue. The problem was, once he was under the protection of the X-Men . . specifically Charles, Romulus couldn't get into his head anymore. So . . he went a different direction. He went after Daken. He started shaping him into the killer that he needed him to be . . . Wolverine's killer. But nothing can kill Wolverine. Right? Don't forget about the sword that the X-Men have . . the Muramasa Blade. Romulus is trying to get his hands on it, and then encase Daken's bones with the metal of the blade. Daken would then be able to take down the hardest target . . Wolverine. And Scott is playing right into Romulus' hand. He's recently seen the telecast of Norman Osborne's Avengers. He knows that the Wolverine there is Daken. He thinks that since the sword is the only thing that can take Wolverine down, it might also be the only thing they can use against Daken. Now Wolverine has to try to get to Daken before Scott does. I wasn't going to pick up Secret Warriors. But now that I've seen Nick Fury in this title . . I may have to change my mind. I really enjoyed this book and I can't wait to see where we go from here.
